“We are pleased to announce that the Ghost Extended Wheelbase will launch in Australia in March of 2012,” said Mr Serudin.

It is powered by a twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 which produces 420kW and a healthy 780Nm, all running through the ultra-smooth ZF eight-speed automatic. The EWB gains an additional 170mm of rear legroom, and was built in response to the region’s demand for a Ghost with even easier access through the rear doors. It only weighs an extra 35kg over the standard Ghost.
